dennis mcdonough, his chief of staff and susan rice. john kerry, his secretary of state and hagel, his secretary of defense were left out of the decision making process which is almost unbelievable. >> john kerry unlike most of the people in the administration recognized that the iranian nuclear issue and the syrian civil war and hezbollah's involvement are the two sides of the same coin. he recognizes that pushing the issue with threats of a u.s. strike will draw the iranians out of their own political crisis and possibly make room on the nuclear negotiations. >> what's the significance of red lining? >> i think it's a style of kind of expressing american heroism in foreign policy. we say you cross that red line and we're going to come play police and tell you you can't do it. >> listen to what donald rumsfeld, former secretary of defense said. >> we have the president saying there's a red line that's drawn by the international community. you've got a congress -- >> he did draw it. >> he says it's the one drawn by the international com
